Just started my tank today. I got a 90 gallon pre-drilled tank with a nice filtration system, sub-compact lighting system, cherry hood and stand, and protien skimmer for $750. It's about a year old, but in great shape. Was looking for this at the LFS and it was 3 times that. I got all of my salt, chemicals, etc. from them this afternoon. Tank is set up and running, salt is in as well as phosphate killers. Live sand is in the bags in the bottom of the tank. I didn't want to open them until the salinity was right but wanted the water already displaced when I filled the tank. I'm new to the saltwater reef tank hobby as of today. My dilema is this: LFS wants $9/lb for live rock and thier fish are expensive. Everything here at Saltwaterfish.com is at least half that with free shipping. I'm getting support from the LFS and I want to get my water from them for changes because it is RO. But, I also want to save money. What is a newb to do?
